A few minor comments inline.

Only seems to be used to ensure we have all the data needed to free it...
So comment seems less than obviously connected to that.

Would be good to be consistent on . or not.

Not valid kernel doc + name is wrong.  Make sure you run
the kernel-doc script over this and fix any errors or warnings
reported.

It's unusual to 'insist' on the private data.
Whilst it's highly likely it will always be there from a core point of view
we don't mind it being NULL.  This is different from the ops as we want
to be able to call those without checking they are there.

"will have torn" or "will tear the"
